PHOENIX — Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport after a threat was received Thursday night.

The FBI says "a security incident occurred regarding a British Airways flight from London to Phoenix" and a threat was received at the airport.

After the plane landed, it was determined that there was no threat to the plane, passengers or crew.

Officials say the alert has since been cleared.

Sky Harbor officials say there have been some delays "due to a temporary closure" on the north runway.

No passengers at the airport were evacuated, according to Sky Harbor officials.

The investigation into the threat is in the initial stages, according to the FBI.

No further information is currently available.
